Smoke and Resistance

didn't want to ask you

to stay,

I wanted you to want me

anyway.

I didn't want to point to an empty chair,

I wanted you to save it,

to show you care.

I didn't want to tell you how to love me right,

I wanted you to know it

in the low light.

I didn't want to teach you

how to see,

I wanted you to look up and really see me.

It's not that asking

makes love less true,

it's that being chosen free

is how

I knew it was you.

It's not that asking

makes love less true,

it's that being chosen free is how I knew

it was you. It's not that asking

makes love less true,

it's that being chosen free

is how

I knew it was you. (yeah)
